blackboard bold and calligraphic
by Hans van der Meer 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

BLACKBOARD There is a problem with the Blackboard symbols, when used in regular and bold forms both. In the Lucida fontset there is a regular series in lbma (or hlcra), and a bold series in font lbmad (or hlcda). As I understand from the current code, switching from regular to bold should be accompanied by a switch from Blackboard to something like BlackboardBold in the command \bbd (from the sources I guess \bbd in font-ini.tex is the most basic macro here). The problem is that \bbd is defined as: \def\bbd {\mathortext{\fam\purefamily {blackboard}}{\symbolicfont {Blackboard}}} Thus the font is hardcoded to regular Blackboard. I have no idea what should be the best strategy to repair this. As for now, the most general mechanism for switching to other/bold math fontfamilies I could find is using \bfmath (and friends). The font needed is in one of the math font registers, of course, so something like {\ma CNRZ} instead of {\bbd CNRZ} will do. But this low level code makes the TeX text source explicitely dependent on the font; for example in the AMS-series these characters are found in msmb, usually ending up in \ma. Is there some generic solution here? CALLIGRAPHIC There is a similar problem with $\cal ...$ It is defined as \def\cal {\mathortext{\fam\purefamily{calligraphic}}{\symbolicfont {Calligraphic}}} I definded font "Calligraphic" but here ConTeXt does not seem to use it in math mode. The calligraphic symbols appear to be taken from the sy (symbol) math family instead of the Calligraphic font. It is a problem, because in the font I am using the calligraphic letters are in another font. Typesetting ${\cal XYZ}\hbox{\cal XYZ}$ gives the wrong characters from the symbol font in the first case, the correct letters in the second. How can this be solved? yours sincerely, dr.

No partial contents for parts after the first
by Giuseppe Bilotta 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I'm using the latest ConTeXt reported here, and I'm noticing that partial contents for the second, third etc part are not available. I have a bunch of files each of which goes like \part{some part} Some text (not always) \placecontent \chapter{some chapter} Each of this file is \input from the master file. However, only in the first part you actually see the (part-specific) content: every other part reports system : part,chapter,section,subsection not found/processed The setup for the contents is as follows: \setupcombinedlist[content] [interaction=all, partnumber=no, alternative=c, level=subsection] \setuphead[part][alternative=middle,placehead=yes,resetnumber=no] The problem is the 'resetnumber': if I take that off, everything works perfectly. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

texfont --listing what isn't there (lbma : LucidaNewMath-Arrows)
by David Arnold 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hans et al, Working hard. Reading manuals. I read in the texfont manual that: lucida $ texfont --listing --ve=yandy --co=lucida Should: "this switch will result in a list of metric files of the installed fonts." I get, to list the first few: lucida $ texfont --listing --ve=yandy --co=lucida TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 checking root : TEXMFFONTS checking root : TEXMFLOCAL fontpath : /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/ afm/yandy/lucida lbc : LucidaCalligraphy-Italic lbd : LucidaBright-Demi lbdi : LucidaBright-DemiItalic lbdsc : LucidaBrightSmallcaps-Demi lbh : LucidaHandwriting-Italic lbi : LucidaBright-Italic lbki : LucidaCasual-Italic lbkr : LucidaCasual lbl : LucidaBlackletter lbma : LucidaNewMath-Arrows lbmad : LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi lbmatex : LucidaNewMath-Arrows However, for example, you can see that lbma is not there: lucida $ pwd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/vf/yandy/lucida lucida $ ls texnansi-lbc.vf texnansi-lbrsc.vf texnansi-lsb.vf texnansi-lbd.vf texnansi-lbsl.vf texnansi-lsbi.vf texnansi-lbdi.vf texnansi-lbtb.vf texnansi-lsd.vf texnansi-lbdsc.vf texnansi-lbtbo.vf texnansi-lsdi.vf texnansi-lbh.vf texnansi-lbto.vf texnansi-lsi.vf texnansi-lbi.vf texnansi-lbtr.vf texnansi-lsr.vf texnansi-lbki.vf texnansi-lfd.vf texnansi-lstb.vf texnansi-lbkr.vf texnansi-lfdi.vf texnansi-lstbo.vf texnansi-lbl.vf texnansi-lfi.vf texnansi-lsto.vf texnansi-lbr.vf texnansi-lfr.vf texnansi-lstr.vf This is because when I installed with: sudo texfont --ve=yandy --co=lucida --ma --in I got lots of skippings, all the math, such as: font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbma font identifier : LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi -> math -> skipping use supplied tfm : lbmad Still struggling to figure out what to do about this. Am I interpreting the --listing switch of texfont incorrectly? Signed: Struggling in California. David

Drag and Drop and Authenticate on the Mac OS Tiger
by David Arnold 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Gerben et al, I am worried about an ownership problem in my texmf.local tree in GWTeX. I get this iwona font, then drag the folder doc/fonts/iwona from the download to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/doc/fonts using drag and drop and finder. I am asked to authenticate and I do so. Opening a terminal window and checking the result, I find: fonts $ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Nov 20 19:59 cm-super drwxrwxr-x 14 darnold wheel 476 Nov 27 19:27 iwona See how the result is owned by darnold:wheel? Is that gonna cause a problem? Should it be changed to root:wheel? Would it be OK to change to /usr/local/teTeX/share and then as root: chown -R root:wheel * Or would this be a bad idea? Gerben, I think maybe all these font thingys I've been trying out to go in ~/Library/texmf. What say you? David

beginners manual
by Hans Hagen 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi, I'm going to clean up the beginners manual (at least the source code) so i think this s a good moment to pick up the 'translation' thread So the question is: - what can go out - what should go in - what should be updated as well as: - who will participate (in translation) - how to deal with localization (maybe dedicated language related chapters) Hans

Linux binaries
by Duncan Hothersall 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I just foolishly downloaded the 2005-11-16 linuxtex.zip minimal linux distribution and copied it on top of my previous one, and I now discover that the binaries are linked to a more recent version of glibc than I have on my linux box. Eek. I will clearly need to update the linux machine in due course, but does anyone (a) know if the binaries from the previous zip will work as a stop-gap, and (b) happen to have a copy of the previous linuxtex.zip (or the binaries from it) available for download? Thanks... Duncan

Problem with Lucida Fonts

Hi all, I'm trying ConTeXt for a week so maybe my question seems stupid but... I have the Y&Y Lucida fonts and i've run sudo texfont --en=ec --ve=bh --co=lucida --in --ma --so=auto --ro=TEXMFMAIN to get ec-bh-lucida.map So I want to check if my installation is working with an

Thanks Taco for the suggestions, I was exploring both of those in parallel to hoping that someone had kept a copy of the old ones.. Thanks both. Duncan

Choosing a font for our Math Book
by David Arnold 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Adam, Taco, Hans, et al, This file: %output=pdf \startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter1 \section{Trinomials} \input knuth \placeformula[eq:1] \startformula f(x)=x^2+2x-3 \stopformula We, see in \in{Equation}[eq:1], the historical use of function notation. \stopcomponent %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: conTeXt-en %%% End: I have no font instructions in my environment file bookenv.tex. This component section1 compiles fine and gives me (checking in Acrobat Professional) a combination of latin modern and computer modern fonts. However, they hardly match in size. The computer modern font is much larger than the text in latin modern font. So, a couple of things. 1. If I wanted to try and see if this would compile with my Lucida fonts, what should I try. 2. Do you have a couple of suggestions for body font and math font that would look good together and can you provide me with the font instructions to include them in my document? I would be grateful. David

Hans, Taco, Gerben, et al, With the new release of Context, it looks like you have the same: --ro=TEXMFMAIN I've attached my type-tmf-gw.dat and the type-tmf-gw.log that resulted from a run with: sudo texfont --encoding=ec type-tmf-gw.dat I did this by dropping type-tmf-gw.dat in ~/tmp/. The first time I ran it with: sudo texfont --ma --in type-tmf-gw.dat That got the texnansi encoding. I sent that file previously. David
